Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the progress in the field of synchronization and
communication with chaotic laser systems. The origin of chaotic dynamics in lasers is …

In this volume, six review articles which cover a broad range of topics of current interest in
modern optics are included. The first article by S. Saltiel, AA Sukhorukov and YS Kivshar …

A novel dual-channel chaotic synchronization configuration is proposed. This system is
constructed on the basis of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting …

Chaotic message encoding and decoding in unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-
emitting lasers (VCSELs) with polarization-preserved and polarization-selected optical …

Time-delay signature of chaos in mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers
subject to polarization rotated optical injection has been investigated experimentally …

Photonic generation of wideband chaotic signals with time delay signature elimination is
investigated experimentally and numerically based on a semiconductor laser (slave laser) …

We analyze theoretically the effect of polarization mode competition on the synchronization
of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Chaos in the …

We describe how small perturbations applied to optical systems can be used to suppress or
control optical chaos, spatio-temporal dynamics, and patterns. This research highlights the …

A solitary monolithic integrated semiconductor laser (MISL) chip with a size of 780
micrometer is designed and fabricated for broadband chaos generation. Such a MISL chip …

Suppression of time-delay (TD) signature in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser subject to
double-cavity polarization-rotated optical feedback has been verified experimentally. The TD …
